Hi there!

I recently bought a WD Black P10 portable hard disk, it should be 7200 rpm but on crystal disk info and even with the Western digital program it shows only 4800 rpm…
Is this normal?
Does it depend how it’s connected to pc?
Actually using usb gen. 3
Is it normal or did I get something like a crappy disk?

Thank you
